The Immortal Taoist Chapter 205

Chapter 205 - Third Cycle of the Lotus

In the distance, numerous mountains rose up from the ground. The mountain was covered in trees and was lined with flowers, making it seem exceptionally enchanting. The mountains were connected together in a blur. Some looked like giants, while others looked like fine horses, all of them of different shapes and sizes.

"Is this the biggest mountain range in Anshan County?"

After killing the killer from Killing House, Ling Dao came here. On both sides of the road, there were already rolling mountains on both sides of the road. He was not muddle-headed because he came here, but he felt that there was something he needed in the mountains.

This was a type of intuition without any basis, but as a pract.i.tioner, they usually believed in their own intuition. In particular, the mountain in the middle rose straight up into the sky, constantly absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

The peak at the center of the mountain was called the true spirit mountain. Normally, there wouldn't be many people within the mountain. But today, there were four middle-aged men carrying black iron sword on their backs on the mountain peak. They were all elders of the Heavy Sword Sect.

"Sect Leader has repeatedly reminded us that we must do this matter well. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid none of the five of us will be able to afford it! "

"That's right, we must be careful. Our Heavy Sword Sect has a lot of things to do, and if we anger our sect again, our fates won't be good!"

The four of them were all elders of the Peak of the Air Defense Realm and possessed quite a bit of status within the Heavy Sword Sect. From this, it could be seen that the Sky-splitting Sword Sect was much weaker than the Heavy Sword Sect. In the Sky-splitting Sword Sect, there were too few air defence Warriors but there were many of them in the Heavy Sword Sect.

If the Sky-splitting Sword Sect and the Heavy Sword Sect were to fight, then the entire clan could only be exterminated. Even if the Sky-splitting Sword Sect had a Origin Stage Warrior, it would still be useless. Any random few Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist s would be able to kill off Duan Zhenghui and the other air defence Warriors. In terms of strength, the elders and disciples of the Sky-splitting Sword Sect were not only one grade weaker than the Heavy Sword Sect.

"Let's just wait patiently. I'm afraid that it won't be long before we reach Rank three of the Spirit Gathering Flower!"

Not far from the four clan elders of the Heavy Sword Sect, there was a beautiful flower, which was precisely this flower absorbing the surrounding spirit energy. The Spirit Gathering Flower was definitely a famous flower. Even warriors who had surpa.s.sed the Origin Stage would be tempted by it.

Of course, the older the Spirit Gathering Flower, the more powerful its medicinal effects. The Spirit Gathering Flower before his eyes was about to transform into three flowers. The Spirit Gathering Flower required one hundred years for the first transition, two hundred years for the second transition, and three hundred years for the third transition. If he waited nine hundred years, he would become a Nine Revolutions Spirit Gathering Flower.

Even the Skysword Sect, Blood Sword Sect and Spirit Sword Sect, these rank 6 powers would be tempted by the Nine Revolutions Spirit Gathering Flower. When Heavy Sword Sect found this Spirit Gathering Flower, he naturally did not have the time to wait for it to complete its ninth cycle.

When Zhong Taicang consumed it, his strength would definitely increase by a lot, and he might even be able to break through into the next stage. Otherwise, Zhong Taicang would not have sent four Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders over.

If Zhong Tailong did not die outside, he probably would have sent Zhong Tailong here. It was a pity that the Heavy Sword Sect had not been peaceful recently. and Zhong Tailong from the Origin Stage had died one after the other, and great things had happened to the spirit stone vein as well. Otherwise, it was possible that Zhong Taicang would personally come here. After all, the Third Cycle of the Spirit Gathering Flower was too important.

Even Ling Dao, who was standing far away, could feel that True Spirit Mountain was not ordinary. One could imagine that the abnormal thing about the Third Cycle Spirit Gathering Flower was that it was only a single flower, yet it was able to absorb so much Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Unknowingly, Ling Dao had already reached the true spirit peak. It was precisely because of the Spirit Gathering Flower that he walked over. When he appeared in the arena, the four elders of the Heavy Sword Sect naturally saw him from afar.

"Someone broke in, no matter who he is, kill him without mercy!"

"That's right, the matter about the Spirit Gathering Flower must not be leaked out!"

Before they could even see Ling Dao's face clearly, they already had the intent to kill. The four Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders were the Heavy Sword Sect's Third, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth Elders. Their strength was extremely tyrannical among all the elders in the Heavy Sword Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn't be ranked so high.

Ninth Elder even walked towards Ling Dao, but when he saw Ling Dao's appearance clearly, he frowned. He felt that the young man before him was a bit familiar, but he couldn't recall where he had seen him before.

"Ol 'Three, Ol' Five, Ol 'Seven, come over here and take a look. This kid looks a bit familiar. Have you guys seen him before?"

Hearing Ninth Elder's words, the Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and Seventh Elder all walked towards Ling Dao. When Ling Dao saw these Heavy Sword Sect Elders, he had a bad premonition, and from the looks of it, these elders could still recognize his ident.i.ty.

"I think he looks familiar too. Where have I seen him before?"

"I remember now, he's the brat that the Sect Leader wanted to kill all this time!"

Yes, that's right, that's the genius from Sky-splitting Sword Sect, what is her name?

"Now that you say it like that, I remember that you are Sky-splitting Sword Sect's disciple, Ling Dao, right?"

Sure enough, the following elders' words made Ling Dao's face darken. As expected, the four elders of the Heavy Sword Sect had recognized his ident.i.ty. Even Ling Dao himself wouldn't know how much Zhong Taicang hated him.

Zhong Taicang had already pasted Ling Dao's portrait on various eye-catching parts of the Heavy Sword Sect. No matter if it was an elder or disciple, they had all seen Ling Dao's portrait before. Furthermore, Zhong Taicang had already guaranteed that anyone who killed Ling Dao would get ten thousand Low grade spirit stone.

If he did not hate Ling Dao to the extreme, Zhong Taicang would not have done this. The four elders before him had already recognized Ling Dao, so they naturally could not let him off. To them, ten thousand Low grade spirit stone s was still a great temptation.

"You people have mistaken me for someone else. I was just pa.s.sing by, that's all. I'm leaving now!"

Ling Dao only glanced at the Spirit Gathering Flower for a second, then turned and left. Facing four Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders, he simply did not have the slightest confidence. Even though he had killed Hong Tairan and the silver-masked a.s.sa.s.sin, that was only possible through strength and calculation.

If he were to face one of the four elders alone, he would not feel too much pressure. But if the four Peak of the Air Defense Realm Elders were to attack together, then it would definitely not be easy to provoke. A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him. There was no need to fight to the death with them. Being able to escape was naturally for the best.

"Wrong person? Do you think we're stupid? Now that you have been seen by us, you still want to leave? "

"If you, a mere Rushing the Sky Stage pract.i.tioner were to escape from all of us, wouldn't you be laughed to death by others if word of this got out?"

Patriarch Seven and Patriarch Nine reacted the fastest and chased after him. They naturally cared deeply about ten thousand Low grade spirit stone. Moreover, Clan Master hated Ling Dao so much, if they were to kill Ling Dao, they would definitely receive a great reward from him.

"What do you mean?"

Seventh and Ninth Elder immediately flew on air and arrived in front of Ling Dao, while the Third and Fifth Elders stood behind Ling Dao. With a hungry wolf in front and a fierce tiger in the back, it was naturally impossible for Ling Dao to leave safely.

Especially the four elders of the Heavy Sword Sect, they were all Peak Imperial Sky Realm martial artist s who could fly on their own. In a short distance, Ling Dao could use Eight Steps of Star Chasing and exceed them in speed. However, in a long distance, the Eight Steps of Star Chasing was powerless. After all, Ling Dao's current realm was too low.

"What do you mean? Of course it's to take your little life. There's no other way, your life is too valuable! "

Ninth Elder sneered, then waved the black iron sword in his hand and struck towards Ling Dao. Even though it was rumored that Ling Dao was very powerful, and even Hong Tairan's Peak of the Air Defense Realm was defeated by him, the Ninth Elder did not believe it.

No matter how strong the Rushing the Sky Stage Warriors were, they would at most be able to defeat the Early Stage Warriors of the Air Defense Realm s. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for Ling Dao to kill Hong Tairan. Ninth Elder reckoned that there must have been an accident in the spirit stone vein that caused the deaths of Cheng Wu, Hong Tairan and the other elders.

Maybe there was some conflict between Hong Tairan and the guards, which resulted in the appearance of casualties. Seeing that there was no way to handle it, they pushed everything to Ling Dao. Not only did the Ninth Elder think this way, the other elders also guessed the same.

With a slash of his sword, nine black iron sword s appeared in front of Ninth Elder. Every single black iron sword seemed to be real. The other eight black iron sword were all condensed out of Zhen Qi, and following Patriarch Nine's movements, they fused with the real black iron sword.

When the nine black iron sword turned into one, the black iron sword in Ninth Elder's hands had already become ten meters large. The tyrannical true qi also pushed the ground full of flowers and plants, turning the ground beneath their feet into a flat piece of land.

Patriarch Nine should be as strong as the silver masked killer, but their fighting style was different. To be able to kill the Origin Stage Warrior, the Ninth Elder was incapable of doing so. The silver masked killer could only kill Origin Stage Warrior with his sneak attack, Ninth Elder did not have that ability.

However, if they were to fight face to face, Patriarch Nine would definitely be stronger. Especially what Ninth Elder used, it was a black iron sword, whether it was attack or defense, black iron sword were all good choices. As the ten-meter-long black iron sword smashed down with a loud bang, Ling Dao also did not dare to have the slightest bit of carelessness.

In Ling Dao's hands, also appeared a black iron sword. He brandished the black iron sword and clashed with Ninth Elder's black iron sword. With a m.u.f.fled sound, the two black iron sword collided, causing Ling Dao to retreat continuously.

"He's only at the Rushing the Sky Stage, how can he have such power?"

Ninth Elder already possessed the strength of nine young dragons. His one sword should be able to easily tear apart Rushing the Sky Stage Warriors. But right now, Ling Dao had only been forced to retreat, and Ling Dao's strength definitely did not stop at the strength of just one infant dragon.

The limit of a Rushing the Sky Stage Warrior was the strength of a young dragon. The current situation naturally made Patriarch Nine a little dazed. It was not because Ninth Elder had shallow knowledge, but because he had really never seen a young genius like Ling Dao.

"Ol 'Nine, what are you staring at? Why aren't you attacking? "

The Third Elder's words brought the Ninth Elder back to reality. In front of the other three elders, it would be a bit shameful if he didn't defeat Ling Dao. Even if Ling Dao went against common sense, he should not be his match.

"It's nothing, I just feel that this kid isn't as strong as they say, just a mere Rushing the Sky Stage martial artist, wouldn't it only be a moment before I take him down?"

These words sounded arrogant, but in reality, Ninth Elder was already somewhat lacking in confidence, and didn't dare to say that she could defeat Ling Dao with a single sword strike!
